Wes Streeting is diverting greater funding to GP services and frontline services.

I refer you to the 100 days thread.

It is all there for your perusal.

Wyllow3 no one is saying that gps don’t care. Why are there so many barriers built in to negotiating with doctors of all kinds? Does Wes Streeting care?

correct 'yes they do care"

Presuming references to last government are as described in the article:

"The BMA said under the NHS contract, GP practices receive just 30p a day for each patient, and warned a new deal of a 1.9% funding increase for 2024/25, forced through by the Tories, is “derisory”."

Yes they do are and I hope so much for all of our needs something can be done. Its very complicated tho, reading the article, what will happen.

It is the only way the government might listen. They are very overworked as are teachers and dentists. Many are likely on the verge of being burnt out and stressed, at least the ones who truly care, which is the majority

I wish some other way could be found to settle this dispute …. None of it is adding up under the new regime. To blame the last government seems a bit crazy. There are new faces around the table now. - this is a very disappointing start. Surely some compromises can be found?
